My first day of school in Montpellier

I have successfully made it through my first full day of school in Montpellier...even made a few friends as well.

I am in the highest grade, CM2 and in a classroom with its own outside staircase. Pretty cool hey?!

Not sure of my teacher's name yet as she only likes to be called "mistress", meaning teacher. In class today we did maths, literature and presentation of the class to get organised.

I had lunch in the canteen, which is not like canteens in Australia. You put money on a card and put the card in a machine at the start of the day. When I went to the canteen at lunchtime, I didn't need to order, the meal arrived at the table. Sadly, didn't get to choose, so lunch was way too healthy (stuck with fish, rice and carrots)!!

There is no school uniform..yeah! And school is only about 40 metres from our apartment. Today on the way to school Mum bought us a chocolate croissant for morning tea, and after school Dad took us to get a slushy. This is the life!!

Missing all my friends. Would love to hear from you. If you can't post on the blog, send me an email. The best address is michaelasmith500@gmail.com. I will start sending emails as well.

Au

revoir mes amis.
